The Deal: New Copenhagen chair reduced at Restoration Hardware

Restoration Hardware's new 1950s Leather Copenhagen chair isn't available until June but it is already on sale. Normally priced between $1,695 and $1,995, the chair is currently offered at a "special pre-season savings" price for $200 to $300 less.

A reproduction of Arne Jacobsen's iconic Egg Chair, this version by London antiques dealer and furniture reproductionist Timothy Oulton is wrapped in hand-distressed leather. Think of it as curling up in a baseball glove. It measures 34-inches wide by 45-inches tall and swivels 360 degrees. With no armrest for a remote, seems like the perfect place to curl up to read ... your iPad.

The chair is custom made and the price depends on which leather you choose. (Glove, shown above, is the cheapest.) Shipping is 10% of the value of the purchase. For further information, call (800) 762-1005.
